Method
Great way to use up shells from peas & broad beans from the garden.
When shelling the beans / peas remove the string by running a peeler along the length of the seam of the pod.
Repeat for the seam on the other side.
Then cut the shells into 1-2cm pieces - avoid your stick blender getting all tangled up!
Cook on a medium heat so the spices don't over cook while the onion is browning.
In a large sauce pan at least 2L. 3L better.
Oil, then spices medium heat, then add onions and put the lid on, stir occasionally until soft & starting to brown.
Add the rest of the ingredients except the goats cheese & lemon juice, bring to the boil, then set to simmer for 20 mins.
Blitz w/ a stick blender and pass through a sieve.
Remove the goats cheese rind w/ a peeler, cut it into pieces the blend it into the sauce / soup.
Add the lemon to adjust the acidity and bring it to life.
Maybe a little tabasco?
This make a great base sauce very versatile - goats cheese optional.
